Why Dentists Feel Overworked and Underpaid

She was producing 2.1 million per year, but barely taking home $150,000 for herself. She thought the answer was more. More ops, more hours, more patients. But she was burned out and barely keeping her head above water. Here's the deal. Dentists are trained to produce, not trained to profit. And that's a trap. Especially as a business owner who spends years training clinically, and then you receive the keys to a practice. You open your business, and all of a sudden you're like, wait. PNL's balance sheets, cash flow. All of this business acumen that you didn't know that you needed is now on your plate. And you've been taught that working more equals. But in reality, if you don't change the way you think about money, you'll just keep producing. Your way to burnout.
